The patient you would provide to needs to get a doctor’s approval, you have to verify it, they have to appoint you their designated caregiver. You should do something extra for them, like taking them to the doctor — unless you are a patient. In that case all you need is to verify their approval and put it in writing, signed, that you are growing as a medical marijuana collective association.

The best place to read about local guidelines is on the California NORML website, http://www.caNorml.org. The ones on this website are out-of-date until someone volunteers to update them again for us. Using the statewide minimum quantities, two patients can have 12 mature OR 24 immature plants and up to a pound of bud at any given time without fear of arrest. If patients have more than that, they still have a legal defense but are not necessarily immune from arrest or prosecution, so they may have to prove in court that it is reasonable. So, obviously, 12 very large plants might be seen as excessive, even though it is within the guidelines, and in that case you still might be arrested and have to get a judge to dismiss the charges under an “entrapment by Estopel” defense argument that the law led you to believe that any amount was legal as long as it came from six plants each. But who wants to fight it in court? Just stay in the low numbers when possible and if your plants start getting too big, prune them back or harvest early. That would be a safer approach to a patient garden. Good luck.
